Eternity

Eternity is a romantic comedy with a unique sense of ambition that it (mostly) pulls off. The film centers on elderly couple Larry & Joan (Miles Teller & Elizabeth Olsen, later on) who both die Larry from choking on a pretzel and joan shortly after from cancer, they soon find themselves at a sort of way station to well the afterlife with countless booths of cool afterlives to choose from, but trouble soon arises when Joan’s first husband who died in the Korean War (Callum Turner) arrives, who will joan choose to spend eternity with? Eternity is a film with one hell of a high concept and it knows it and is endlessly inventive in how it builds the various unique worlds and is packed with inventive background gags. It also helps to have Olsen in the lead who is effortlessly terrific with both the screwball humor and emotion the script asks of her. The film sometimes struggles with slow patches and can sometimes feel like a 90 minute movie stretched to 2 hours, but overall Eternity is a stone cold charmer. 

I Give It 4 1/2 Stars!!!
